Thank you to Brian Spencer and his staff for their dedication and commitment to the Chamber and the Plant City Community.This month's program will be quite interesting as we hear from Jeff Eakins, Hillsborough County School's Super- intendent, will bring members up-to-date regarding our school system. What does he forecast for the coming year?
A little information about our Guest Speaker:
Jeff Eakins began his career in education as a teacher at North Franklin Elementary School in Columbus, Ohio. In 1989 Mr. Eakins moved to Hillsborough County and spent two years as a teacher at Wimauma Elementary School and nearly five years at Cypress Creek Elementary School.
Over the next several years, Mr. Eakins was promoted to various key positions within the district. He first served as an assistant principal for elementary instruction at Springhead Elementary School, then he returned to Cypress Creek Elementary as the school's principal.
In 2006 he became the director of the district's Title I program. Later, he was promoted to General Director of Federal Programs. In this role, Mr. Eakins worked closely with legislators at the state and national level on a variety of issues impacting children and education in Hillsborough County. He also collaborated with the U.S. and Florida departments of education on the implementation of several education laws.
Then in March 2013, Mr. Eakins served as Assistant Superintendent for Performance Management and Community Support. Later that year he was promoted to Deputy Superintendent for the district.
Mr. Eakins has received numerous awards and recognition throughout his career including the 1992 Teacher of the Year at Cypress Creek Elementary School, the 2010 Dr. Earl Lennard Outstanding Leader Award for Hillsborough County Public Schools, and also in 2010, the NAFEPA's Outstanding Leadership Award for the State of Florida.
He is a graduate of the 2011 Leadership Tampa Class, co-chair of the Leadership Tampa 2015 Education Committee, and serves on the Board of Directors for the Florida Association of Instructional Supervisors and Administrators.
